Bug 509461

It's in upstream 0.13 which I missed recently, but upon testing I can't get it to work. I'm going to submit 0.13 into the testing repo and submit a bug upstream.

And by "can't get it to work" I mean the quake mode ;)  the terminals themselves work just fine.

Hi Ian,

I've moved to F-11 since when I posted the bug and I plan to move F-12 a couple of weeks after it is released. So, i'm changing the version of this bug.

Although I do see the cvs sources have a spec with version 0.13-2, I don't see the rpm for the updated version in the repos. Could you please build and push the updates ?

cheers,

Hi steve,
can you have a look at terminator 0.14 if it is possible to use it in quake mode?
You can grab a package from here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1984795

Alternatively, can you give me some small instructions on how to use the quake mode in terminator. I actually use a lot terminator functions, but didn't know it has a quake mode. ;)

Hey Dominic,

Thanks for reminding me about this bz and sorry about the delayed response. Anyways ...

Yes, the feature does work in 0.14 too. It has been working for sometime now. By the quake mode, I meant the '-H' command line and 'hide_window' config options. Check the man pages about it. This was merged here ...

I forgot to update this BZ with a small note tho'. The implementation of this feature requires the 'deskbar' module, provided by the deskbar-applet package in Fedora.

So, i guess we'll need to add an rpm dependency on that. I could do that and realease an update if you are ok with it (I did offer to be co-maintainer after all :) ).

Hi Steve,
sorry for my late response. I wrote you a mail about the co-maintaining thing and some other issues. I really appreciate your help, so feel free to add yourself to the package on the package database as I wrote in the mail.

I'm not sure if adding another dependency is the appropriate solution, since I'd like to keep dependencies as small as possible and any GNOME support is mentioned as optional in the INSTALL file of terminator. Since there is no "recommends" for RPM, I think adding a README file pointing to install additional packages for some features could be more appropriate (I'm in special thinking of users who don't have installed GNOME and don't want to have such libraries installed).

What do you think about that?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
